and i must confess that in the craziness of christmas day, i did not do outfit pics, so these are very candid, very. 

 gemma is joining me today for her first fashion on a dime.  she blows me out of the water, hands down. 

gemma's outfit:

dress and hat - gift from grandma - kids consignment

shoes - new found at salvation army 

 yes, i said candid. i'm so sorry....

my outfit:

boots - a birthday present

jeans - levi's - bon-ton on clearance about 2 years ago

plaid shirt - thrifted at salvation army - wranglers

blazer - target on clearance about 3 years ago

glasses - www.coastalcontacts.com with free coupon code

want to join in the frugal fashion fun? here are the "rules"

- while any outfit post is welcome, i ask that at least one item in your outfit be frugal.

- frugal meaning: thrifted, a clearance purchase, borrowed or re-purposed from your closet. 

- your post can be from any day of the week. 
- show your other frugal fashionista's some love by leaving them a comment or two!

- i would be so honored if you would please mention fashion on a dime or use the button on the sidebar to your right in your post.
